In this episode, Daryl doesn't seem to understand that we already reviewed Serial Experiments Lain 20 years ago! A shame, he seemed an...incredibly dishonest man, but still! How close/far to the mark was this speculation on the Internet from 28 years ago? Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's our 250th episode, except it's actually closer to 332! No better time for Gerald to review 1983's Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years by Osamu Tezuka, now officially released in English. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

It's a brand new year, but not quite a brand new animal as Daryl reviews the somehow already half decade old TV series Odd Taxi (or ODDTAXI, if you prefer). Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

This episode marks our 20th year of podcasting, to the day! After some reflection on the two decades journey we've undertaken, it's down to business as usual as we give some thoughts on the concluding anime season before once again recapping some Christmas-focused episodes of anime.

Our annual Thanksgiving trivia episode returns! We're joined by none other than Red Bard (Kennedy) whose success as a YouTuber vastly exceeds anything we've ever done. Like Daryl, they too are a contributor to Anime Herald Magazine, the first issue of which is out now in print and digital. BUT HOW MUCH DO THEY KNOW ABOUT ODIN AND BLACK LION?! (Disclaimer: we all mixed up Nobunaga in Black Lion with Ginnai, so we don't know very much ourselves.) Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Halloween is upon us, and while we don't quite have any bona fide horror anime lined up, after everyone gives initial impressions of the Fall 2025 anime season Clarissa reviews the somewhat eerie and entirely too short anime adaptation of Pet Shop of Horrors. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

As the Fall 2025 anime season approaches, we talk about our favorites of Summer 2025 before Gerald reviews Bubblegum Crash!, the 3-part sequel to Bubblegum Crisis which we reviewed some 17 years ago. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.

Malady and illness caused us to miss last month, but Gerald attended Otakon 2025 and Daryl reviews what he considers a landmark of "post-Evangelion TV anime," the mecha comedy-drama Martian Successor Nadesico. And also...the movie. But also the Gekiganger 3 OVA. Visit www.animeworldorder.com for full show notes and supplemental links.
